Scars

It is kind of a peculiar itinerary. Through the technique of double exposure, it makes visible the way each

new place prints its stamp in the body and memory leaving a kind of “scar. It is therefore a reflection on

the interweaving between our projection in our environment and the impressions that this environment

leaves within our mind-body.

PETER RAW

Peter Raw (PL), born in 1969 in Poland, worked for several years in Austria and Germany as an

art and freelance photographer. Inspired by Art Nouveau and Surrealism, he often uses elaborate

staging, combined with dreamlike fables, mirrored by corresponding objects, in his work. Peter

was among the top 10 finalists of Sony World Awards 2008. He was awarded the Special Award

UNICEF 2008 as well as other prizes and awards. www.peterraw.com

How are you, darling?

This cycle aims to create a very simple yet striking scene: by starting with the process of taking a

bath as a backdrop, the photographer captures core aspects of this special moment in the life of a

woman, ie pregnancy. In this surreal and ironic setting, he depicts the rich, expressive and

sometimes explosive emotions of a pregnant woman.

Visually, the photographs are saturated with colours, combining unexpected objects with the

central theme.

Still (a) Live

Their joint project address the theme of loneliness and feeling lost in a modern city. The self-portraits in

the form of diptychs were shot between the four walls of their apartment, representing both a safe

communal space as well as an empty place one can get lost in. Being in a place not shared with anyone, it

enables the removal of all the layers and masks built around the protagonist. Hidden from the eyes of the

world, without any artificial smile, she can indulge, without any feeling of shame, in sadness and

nostalgia.

JEANINE UNSEN

Jeanine Unsen (LU), born in 1975, studied photography in Brussels where she graduated from the Ecole

supérieure des arts de l'image "Le 75". Her photographs mainly depict oniric, formal portraits, where the

protagonists are placed in a specific relationship to the environment surrounding them. One of her main

recurring theme is to explore whether an individual can still remain the same person, having been

extracted from their familiar surroundings and placed in an artificial space. Jeanine's work has been

exhibited numerous times in Luxembourg and abroad (India, Germany, France, Austria and

China).www.jeanineunsen.com

"Portraits de femmes du 21 siècle"

The poetic series "Portrait de femme du 21 siècle" reveals the tension between the environment and the

world behind the scenes that women can get caught in. Despite all the differences related to social status,

the right to authenticity and freedom of expression still remains an unfulfilled goal for many women. The

tryptic and circular shapes, closely linked to a tradition in art history, symbolize the eternal female

struggle for equal rights. To achieve this goal, the depicted women rise above their singular "one" being.

They become mythical creatures of the 21st century.

Later

„I have been told that I would live a long life. So long that all the people I care about now would already

be dead. I would die in absolute loneliness. So I pretended to be “a photographer of flower vases” to visit

elderly and lonely ladies, taking a look into this dreadful prophecy. I got an insight into their private

spaces, got to know the secrets of their lives. Taking pictures of the flower vases turned into mutually

creative processes that carried even the eldest and most reserved ladies away. We became friends very

soon, and I discovered the world of very strong and kind women.” Aija Bley
